Welcome to the new thread!
Thanks to our fabulous @Elle Belle for the thread title with 57 votes!
Lovely to see us sporting new avatars, thanks to our talented @theredgossiper

Well, we rattled through the last thread! Lidl gave us a peek into the room where the magic happens....the kitchen the bedroom, where she has installed her new #gifted bed, an American super duper kingy queeny size thing that looks like a climbing frame but will see no action! She was too mean to buy a new mattress so her current mattress is ten inches too narrow. Hope Ali doesn't fall in the gap!
The headboard and footboard are now known as moustaches.

The bathroom of dreams is complete, apart from the copper bath. Ali now has his own sink! Copper is a very good conductor of heat so the water will soon be lukewarm, like their marriage!

Anyway, onto far more important things! I'm pleased to bring forward from the previous thread exciting details of our summer event!

Thanks so much to our lovely @Oops...

[coconochanel]

forwarding from the last thread @Oops... loving my party political tent. Also I'm still following this renovation tit show. Like someone mentioned how has LC done8 rooms shes done....kitchen, bedroom, ensuite, powder room, hallway, utility oh and the grandad study.

 

[Miss Trunchbull]

Yay ! I’m in the magic mushroom tent!

 

[Milking Keynes]

Brilliant thread recap, @Miscanthus, I’m laughing out loud - hope Aldi doesn’t fall in the gap! -

@Polava raised a very interesting question, though, at the end of our last thread - Is the dining chair glued down?! No doubt in my mind... and what other Costly finds are glued down too - for sure the doughnuts, for they are bespoke Costly pieces. Can we add to this? Should we have a poll?

 

[Oops...]

Thank you dear @Miscanthus for another shiny new thread

Brilliant title @Elle Belle - so chic in her new frock and Jimmys x

Watch out for more Downtonbury 2021 news flashes and of course many more Keynote Speakers - with tents...in which to rant, preach entertain and enlighten...It’ll be June sooner than we know so lets plan a Fabulous, Fun, Festival Never To Forget...

(Following a drear year no-one wants to remember - just sayin’)

 

[Juanita]

Hi everyone. I was just watching Ali's proposal video. They both looked happier then. So I was just thinking what if he had only proposed let's say last year, what do you guys think she would have been like planning the wedding etc. With her "lovely" personality now.

@Oops... This unexpectedly made me feel emotional as I read through. I think it just reminded me how very diverse we all are, from across the globe and that although we came together from feelings of negativity towards a certain person’s actions, we belly laugh, send messages of support and see the funny side of life, despite the current additional challenges of a pandemic . Thank you, Dear Oops - the festival is going to be simply fabulous.

Bonnets at the ready! I couldn’t be more excited if I was Mrs. Bennet herself, @Oops Oh dear- wrong event, bumblehead! Invitations all mixed up ....ggggrrrrr!! Breathe, chicken, breathe...

 

[katiesmith81]

With all my health problems to be bluntly honest this thread in particular (not to even mention the other parts of the forum) take my mind off that and I really find some of these posts hysterically funny, love it a lot!!

Bridezilla to the tenth and a need to over-top Frows weeding.

Mr Bennet! Mr Bennet! MR BENNET!!...

Oh I can see you now charging through the house screaming in excitement to your patient husband - who will reply

Yes, my dear - I am familiar with your nerves having suffered them these twenty years or more... .

Alison Steadman’s got nothing on our @Milking Keynes/Havisham. You have cast yourself perfectly AGAIN!

Watch this space - that’s all I’m sayin’

I would love to come, but considering it ( JUNE) is my birthday month, and a very important one, l’m not sure that I will have time with all the non existant boxes I shall have to open and the non existant flower displays that I have to display ! If I find the time I shall come with my box tent and grumpy snoopy and gorgeous Muffin. I can maybe teach people my non existant talent??!!

 

[diand]

I cannot get over how skinny Ali is looking in this clip he shared on insta stories.

I think his only meal today must’ve been the tiny amount of spinach he was making earlier!

 

[Namima]

His pallor is quite worrying unless this is a filter ...

He looks in that screenshot like one of those souls in that Disney Ariel movie.

 

[diand]

Just realised that Ali is playing an invisible piano in the photo I shared and it reminded me of this gem

 

[muffintop13]

Please can I join Downtonbury? I would like to bring Captain Wentworth

Professional interiors photos never have the lights on. They make the house look darker photographing it with the lights on during the day like that.

He looks in that screenshot like one of those souls in that Disney Ariel movie.

Omg brilliant! He so does! I feel like the guy who’s interviewing him even looks concerned!
